 This one's for the ladies!So what in the heck is Galantine's Day? So glad you asked, let us tell you. Galantine's Day is a day to celebrate the friendships of women. It was created by Leslie Knope in the Parks and Recreation episode "Galantine's Day". In the season two episode 16 of the show Leslie wanted to create a day where she could celebrate her female friends. Why? Because she felt that women were often left out of traditional holidays like Valentine's Day. Galantine's Day is now celebrated all over the world on February 13th. And while that date may be one of the worst for a one-night stand, it could be the BEST to celebrate with your besties. So, single and ready to mingle... with your gal pals?! While 101 ways to celebrate could make choosing what to do that much more difficult. How about 51 ways, found on Cozy Meals that include these fun categories:

1. Never ahead, ever behind, yet flying swiftly past; for a child, I last forever; for an adult, I'm gone too fast. What am I? Okay so that's a riddle but do you know the answer? Spoiler Alert! It's TIME!!!! Give that special someone the gift of TIME with a GTC gift card (I mean, you knew we were going to throw that in here, right?!) But seriously friends, when mom/wife/s.o. says that just want a clean house, is that really what they want? Or do they want to not to have to spend the TIME themselves to do it? 2. A.R.K.

It is easy to forget with our hectic schedules and commitments. The good news is that you can take a proactive approach! There are many ways that you can be proactive and make sure that you don’t forget about these special occasions, and more importantly the loved ones behind them. If you’re like most people, you probably have a list of birthdays and anniversaries that you have to remember every year. You might even take the time to make a list of everyone in your family and friends, but after that it’s easy for that list to get lost or forgotten. One of the most popular ways is to create a tickler file for occasions like birthdays and anniversaries. This will remind you when the date approaches and allow you plenty of time to get a card in the mail. This is also one of the GTC Teams favorite ways to make sure you are proactively set up for success. We find that creating a physical tickler file system makes things SUPER simple. Take a day or a few days in the beginning of January to purchase cards in bulk, write a special message in them, address and stamp the envelope and then file them into the month they need to go out. This way at the beginning of each month all that needs to be done is to reach into the file, pull out the already addressed stamped envelope(s), and put them in the mail - and the best part... you don't even have to do THAT because yup, GTC can take it to the mailbox for you too. Or, you can use a reminder app and take care of things throughout the year. (P.S. - GTC can help there too... we can set up the app for your on your phone, and enter all the information.) Feeling motivated for this year to be the year? Well we have confidence in you!. Here are some of the top rated handy apps we've found or you can let GTC be the app for that.... and so much more. Simply hand your special occasion list over and let the GTC Team take it from there. Let this year be the year you shine and ensure your loved ones know how much you really care.
